Quick Update 5-Days Pre-op
Okay, ladies! I'm too excited! The anxiety has not set in yet. I'm actually really surprised that it hasn't. I've been kind of down lately tho. I have one more final left. I just turned in a huge term paper and I don't think I did that well on it at all. I may have to revise it..... WHILE IM IN MIAMI. I don't know though until my professor sends it back. Or... she may just fail me. :( I really tried hard on it. IDK. So that has taken away from some of my BBL joy.
Also, I have been analyzing my current body like crazy. I'm going into surgery at 5'5 185. I've lost 15 pounds since I uploaded those initial pics. I am worried about my being too fat.... Like i won't be able to see my lipo results. I know at this weight I have plenty of fat to get a hugeee butt, and that is what i want. My previous wish body was Kyra Chaos... Like super toned, with great abs, etc. Now, I know I will have to lose like 30 lbs post op to get that body. What about my new fat cells? Won't those die? :( Anywho, my new wish body is Emily B. Great proportions, and super thick. I plan on losing some weight 8 weeks post op one my fat stabilizes. I am not afraid of hard work. I don't care if I still have back rolls etc, (even though I want my front belly to be super flat) after surgery. You can lose those in the gym later. As long as my booty stays full and projected, I'll be happy. And I trust that Salama can do that. So I should really stop stressing.
Here were my measurements from the first pics I uploaded (red panties):
Waist: 34 1/2
Waist (around my belly button): 40
Hips: 48
My measurements 15 lbs later:
Waist: 32 1/2
Waist around Belly Button: 39
Hips: 46
I will update measurements the day before surgery. Oh, and I found a great nurse. She is older and seems super caring and is staying at me at the hotel for 3 days. Having that part worked out makes me excited about the surgery. Lots of other details to plan & that last final to study for.

edit December 13th, 2013----Salama! Update: So Blessed!! :) Almost There!
So busy lately!!! I have been neglecting RS! I see all these messages I have not responded to! I am NOT ignoring or being rude! I am just so busy! :( So here is my update y'all!
School: I should be writing a hugeee paper right now, but I had to update. Got a few more finals to wrap up.
Weight loss: I lost quite a bit of weight initially. Got down to 184. That was good. My stomach got really flat. Then Thanksgiving came..... and I have been eating poorly since. :( I hope to get back on the wagon tomorrow, but it is so HARD to find time to prep food when I am up all night pulling all nighters for grad school. Sucks... I kind of have made peace with my weight. My goal weight now is 179 pre-op. That leave plenty of fat for Salama to give me ultimate projection. I was concerned about having enough fat because I don't really carry excess weight in my midsection. I notice a lot of women on here are apple shapes, I'm an hourglass. I gain weight everywhere and lose weight everywhere. Since I am only getting my torso lipo-ed, I was really stressed about having enough fat to give me my huge Yaris Sanchez booty. I'd rather have too much than not enough. I can workout the last few 20 lbs post op. So... I'm not gonna stress the weight too bad.
Personal (boys...) & Nursing Care: Boyfriend # 2 has been deleted. He was my planned caregiver, and this week he decides that he would rather "pop bottles" while in Miami with his friends than take care of me. The b*tch is going to Miami the same dates as my surgery (he took off work initially to take care of me), is now NOT going to be taking care of me, but is still going to MIA to party. In my head, I'm like "Dude, you're broke." That's why you're BF # 2. Who do you think you are? Lil Wayne? You can't even afford bottle prices in Miami. Not the good clubs anyway. So you are trading our friendship/relationship to stand in the corner of a no-name club with your homeboys sipping on that one off-brand drink you can afford from the bar??? I can't. Oh well, no worries. I'm in the process of hiring a nurse. I think I got someone lined up. But if you ladies know anyone who can take care of me from 12/13-12/16 for $400 send them my way. No worries. That's why you was second place anyways.... LOL alright, I'm getting off topic.
Pre-Op Prep: I got my pre-op clearance from my primary care DR!!! Yeah!! I'm healthy, no diseases. My EKG came back good. I feel so blessed. Plus, all my pre-op work cost $0!!! Yea for having insurance! In fact, I may get a $50 credit because my health plan rewards you for getting preventative care checks! LOL.... The 3 prescriptions Salama requires you to fill pre-op came to $60. Not too bad. I've started picking out cute sundresses to wear around post op, and some comfy ones to wear to work the first few days back. I am going back to work 10 days post-op.
This weekend, I am going to try and pick up all of the things on the supply list. And start packing for the big day! YEAHH!
A few questions for my Salama vets:
1) Can you wear weave on surgery day?? I know this sounds dumb, but it's important to me. Salama is already requiring that I have no makeup or nails. I know its for health and safety, but if I could wear a half-wig or something that would boost my "emotional" health on surgery day.
2) Do I need to purchase an ab board before I go to MIA? Lipo foam? When do I start wearing these post-op?
3) Do I need to purchase a garment before I go to MIA? I know Salama gives you 2, but I was wondering if I would need anything additional. I was thinking about getting a Squeem.
4) How long til I feel okay? I know each person is individual, but by day 3 are you able to like walk around and like cook for yourself?? I'm super independent, and I kinda want to know when I will start to feel like me.
The fear and anxiety of surgery day has not set in yet. I'm kinda excited & wayyy too busy getting things squared away. Okay ladies, I'm out. I got HW to do. LOL... I'm going to respond and update some more later as the week goes on. Heart y'all.
